[RESOLVED] php assistance

Hi all

I have posted in the html section and i believe that issue is resolved and now i'm having problems with the php of my design, some details to know so it can help answer better, I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, I am only doing this on my computer i have no server set up or hosting site set up just using my local network to see if i can get it to function first.

I have also through dreamweaver created the following results.php file also as you can see in the html above i have bolded the action to make it go to the results.php page but something is not configured correctly

It's being processed by your browser as plain HTML. You need to run it through a web server and access it via "http://localhost" (or however you configure it), not as "file://". It is relatively painless to set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on your local machine with Wampserver, XAMPP, or a couple other available packages out there. (Wampserver is only for Windows, but as such has some nice features for that environment, otherwise XAMPP works on most popular PC OS's.)

Once you get that running, you'll then find you've forgotten the terminal semi-colon on the echo command.

Find the XAMPP control panel, run the program, it will list what services are running, if you can see that your Apache server is running, then open a web browser an type in http://localhost/xampp and your xampp config should show up.

It is at that point you will know if the xampp install is fully operational or not, because if you have the servers running and can't access the webserver, you have some tweaking to do and it would be best to consult the Apache friends site on rectifying that issue.

If all is working, then you only need find the install path of XAMPP and this is usually a path like C:\xampp\htdocs\ and in side that you find xampp folder, if you see an xampp folder than youre in the right place, make a folder called site, put your index.php page in that folder, go to your web browser and type http://localhost/site and hit enter, your page should show up.

My XAMPP install is in this path, I create a folder and view in this manner... adapt for your particular install.

Actually scratch that last post, i got it to work, so now i have it to display correctly.

my next question if there is any way you amazing people can give me assistance is, is there anyway that i can make it save the information and then be able to go back and put in another set of information and then save that so it keeps adding to it instead of over writing it?

for example

Customer 1
text
text
text
text
text

then input customer two

customer 2
text
text
text
text
text

so then when i view the results it will have both
customer 1 and customer 2 information
